Location

Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

Description

Workshop with Jörn Didas, Managing Director Adolf-Bender-Zentrum, Saarland’s Anti-Racism Commissioner

We encounter prejudices and bar-talk, as well as derogatory and misanthropic comments, time and again in our everyday lives – within the family, at work, in clubs or in public spaces. They often catch us off guard and leave us feeling unsettled or overwhelmed. During the workshop, we will develop some initial practical strategies to help us deal with such situations with greater confidence.

 

About this workshop series

This event is part of a series on science communication at JGU. If you attend four or more events in the series, you will receive the “WissKomm-Basics” certificate. All events are automatically open to participants from the RMU partner universities.
Through the Open Science and Science Communication project (COM Department), JGU is establishing a campus-wide advisory and professional development programme on science communication. Researchers and staff from all disciplines and at all levels of expertise benefit from support services and programmes designed to develop their skills. The project thus expands on existing science communication initiatives in Rhineland-Palatinate (WissKomm Academy) and at the Rhine-Main Universities (RMU).
